I have always put the stats in the name of the weapon for example : T-21 Min-Max Speed +Range mod (T-21 200-400 7.1 +30 for example)
The Weapon Upgrade will convert stats for existing weapons (how scary is that lol) so the stats of our old weapons will be changed. Maybe it will be less confusing for the buyer if we don't have stats in the name.
What do you think?

It's a good idea, but it is probably way too soon. The weapons you create today will probably have long dwindled down to breaking point before the first CB publish even hits Test Center.

I'd say the current system you are using will work fine, just like slicing changes the actual stats on an unsliced weapon you produce now, so people are used to having to look at the weapon itself to see what it's actual numbers are.

Oh my lord...I just read that and remembered a friend on the brink of tears from people complaining about the adjustment of the stats on her BE pets when they started to grow....the once 5k ham non-ch cupas being adjusted to 500 ham and her getting spammed with hate tells...
...if there's a repeat of that I may not have to contemplate deleting my account...I'll get banned for telling off all the people that complain to me about it...

Well, besides the damage and speed, I'll occasionally add range or condition info if either of those are very good. Even though I sell mostly sliced, I still like to include the pre-slice damage and speed as that gives my customers a basis for comparison if they are comparing my weapons to unsliced. It also enables them to figure out what % of slice the weapon got which could help them understand why a particular weapon is priced the way it is.

I will conduct my WS business as I always have, until a new system is in place.
When a new system comes online, I will adjust to that system.

I have an ignore list. There are just shy of 400 people on it.
If people will not listen to an explanation, my final word on the subject is "welcome to my ignore list. Please get someone to contact me on your behalf when you choose to be rational".
The people who *do* try to contact me later *usually* do act more politely, *once* they calm down. I feel no need to take abuse from stupid people.
